The original SCAD file interprets the diameters as a radii, and does not accept fractional diameters, so odd diameters are impossible. With this minor fix they are now possible!
The v2 version corrects a cog length issue.
Note there was a Customizer problem within Thingiverse before; if you still have trouble it can be worked around by installing OpenSCAD and running Customizer locally, using the instructions here:
- Download the latest version of OpenSCAD (which includes Customizer)
- Under Edit, Preferences, enable Customizer
- Under View, uncheck 'Hide Customizer'
- Open the SCAD file downloaded from Thingiverse
- On the right side of the app, enter the custom values you want. The 3D image will update automatically
- When ready to generate the STL file, first render the image (e.g. F6), then export as STL.
